The 100 returns with episode 5 “The Tinder Box” and it looks like Clarke is trying to prevent a war against Ice Nation… As usual. Here’s our synopsis.
Last time we saw our kru, Roan was planning a war against Clarke, Octavia was getting saved by her horse, and Bellamy was screaming at the thought of his sister dead. Ahhh, just another day on the ground. This week, we’ll learn if Clarke can stop said war and hopefully Bellamy will see that Octavia is alive before he does anything he regrets (like killing an entire grounder army).
The official synopsis put out by TV Guide reads:
“Clarke makes a desperate plea with a former ally in an attempt to avoid a war and ensure the survival of her people.”
Clarke making desperate pleas seems to be a common occurrence. But will she succeed? Maybe if Riley doesn’t shoot anyone before she can speak. Check out the trailer here:
This trailer is reminding me of something. Oh, season 1 of The 100 maybe. This is so reminiscent of when Clarke tried to reason with Anya to prevent that first grounder war in “Unity Days” of season 1. But instead, Jasper got ahead of himself and started shooting. Could Riley be the next Jasper?
I will say though that yes, season 4 is definitely repeating a lot of the same story lines as season 1, but it’s doing it in a way that almost makes up for what went wrong in S1. They’ve learned a lot by now so they’re not repeating their mistakes. But Riley has been cooped up as a slave for a few months. Will someone stop him before he starts a war? We’ll find out on Wednesday.
